RD said this at the Ceat Cricket Rating World Cup Retro Award.Dravid also said that he feels that the real competition will start in the quaterfinals. He also commented on Dhoni's statement of playing in India being an added responsibilityIndia are obviously one of the favourites. They have been playing well for a number of years. Its a well-balanced side with a number of spinning all-rounders or part-time bowlers, which gives India a big advantage

I also like the way MS (Dhoni) chose to describe the pressure being an added responsibility. He has used the right word. It's not pressure but a great privilege to be playing in front of your home crowds and hopefully India should do well. To me, the tournament will heat up after March 19 when the quarterfinalists will make the stage
